I’m with Vimto, I don’t think it was rushed at all, someone just wasn’t paying attention, it’s clearly 16x16x16 = 4096 , if it’s really tri-colour and not RGB then it’ll be 8192, if it’s actually RGB then it’ll be 12288 leds.

There are so many things wrong in just that part that I’m not sure I’d want to purchase much of on-semis LED stuff :-D

saying that something is globally illegal is pretty damn uninformed.
For ex. in Finland, you arent allowed to have red as other than brake lights and blue is not allowed anywhere.
Yellow animated lights for ex. are allowed.

you sir should A) do research before you post B) post less grand posts C) stop posting.

Thats my tail light, when it is finished, there will be robotic turn signals that are goingto come out from under the bike, and the go back when off. I have started to prototype the turn signals. the video is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyepf-GaSOI

Thats my tail light, It will have an inspection switch that will make it operate like a normal tail light when needed. There will also be robotic turn signals that will come out from under the tail when on then retract and hide back under the bike when done. You can see a video of my prototype for the turn signals here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyepf-GaSOI. Its an early working model I have a few changes to make before milling out of aluminum.

“The NeuroKnitting project captures brainwaves by weaving them into a scarf.”
maybe pedantic, but the neuroknitting project KNITS brainwaves into a scarf, it doesn’t weave them, thats a totally different method of producing fabric.

for the LED cube: at 3:10 ( http://youtu.be/Lax2zxvL5Kc?t=3m10s ) the cube has a display that reads “Tri-color LED Cube (LED)” though they can turn red, green and blue. so yes, it’s technically ~12K LEDs.
